Hi,

American looking to move my domains to somewhere more stable. I found some alternatives on Google, but I worry they are basically GoDaddy.

Any suggestions for domain registrars?

Looking to migrate my domains, email and webhosting homward.

I love opalstack but they arent Canadian.

Also looking to replace Onedrive with Nextcloud. Need 1TB to start.

Who all do you like?

We could start fundraising to do the legal paperwork and buy a tower in a provincial capital then start the plans. Anyone who funds and/or works gets a share and the right to vote in the cooperative’s affairs.

The plan could be basic at first for a low price of $3 that includes wifi calling nationwide for anyone outside of the city. Then we could expand the cellular service across the province then maybe bring it the rest of the country to rival the competition and bring down prices for everyone.

Our cooperative would be focused on providing high paying jobs and providing good benefits.

We can use Mastodon, Friendica and Lemmy.ca to deliver service updates.

It’s just a fun thought experiment ;)

Asking from British Columbia where the donations are capped at $1,450.82 annually for 2024.

In Quebec the election candidates can only receive up to $100 from individuals annually and elections Quebec posts the names of the donors on their website’s board.

I would imagine there would be a lot less advertisements like lawn signs and much more grassroots actions like knocking on doors. The political parties would have to be more efficient with their messaging and everyone can maximize their contribution caps much more easily.

The federal government recently passed two bills into law, C-244 and C-294. These make it not a copyright violation to break or bypass a digital access control to software/hardware you ~~own~~ have legitimate access to, for the purposes of diagonstics/maintenance/repair, and interoperability respectively. Article from The Sarnia Observer

iFixit has applauded the move but says it still keeps bans on the sale and sharing of tools designed primarily for digital lock bypass.

What are your thoughts?

Not time sensistive.

Like many Canadians, I've been subjected to American TV most of my life. I know we don't have the "amendments" as such. So what do we have?

For me it's Corner Gas. I still think it's pretty funny and there's a decent amount of references to Canadian stuff but not enough to be off-putting. I feel like an American wouldn't be confused watching it even if some of the references get a bit dated overtime.

I have only seen a bit of the animated version in waiting rooms.

From my understanding it varies from airline to airline.

I'm looking at the Air Canada page that has details for example which can be found here.

But I'm not sure certain what it means.

Can I have a portable power bank that's 160W? If I bring that could I also bring on a laptop and a Steam Deck?

It seems like you can bring 15 devices theoretically.

Looking to make a bison steak and can't seem to find juniper berries or any other fresh/sour berry to pair. Thanks.

What’s life like in Baffin 🧐

NOTE: I was thinking of Montreal because of the multicultural backgrounds being the more ideal environment for an immigrant to move to and because I’ve been fascinated with the National Film Board of Canada since I’ve seen their works (The Cat Came Back, Ryan, Boogie Doodle, The Sandman, Subconscious Password with John Dilworth) and I’ve been fascinated with living in the country since I would love to go to another country soon and sometimes I decide on here.

Any other city or province suggestions welcome.

I'm in the beginning stages of planning a trip this winter to see the northern lights. The days are getting real short and I'd love to take advantage of that.

I'm currently in southern Ontario and would like to head north a bit to get away from all the light pollution. I'll also be travelling alone so heading off to a park is probably not a wise decision for myself. Also, since I'm going alone, I'd prefer staying at a hostel where I have a chance to meet people but that's not a strict requirement. I know hostels are not a big thing here.

Any information, tips or experiences to share would be greatly appreciated.

Natural gas? Heating oil?

I'm really into traditional architecture and pre-automobile urban planning. Unfortunately there isn't a lot of that in North America. I know there are a few, I was wondering if Ontario specifically has any nice villages that fit this description? Preferably not abandoned ones, i am looking for ones still inhabited.

I am quite enjoying the LegalEagle YouTube channel and I would love to find a similar channel or two devoted to Canadian Law. Any suggestions?

I live in a small city pretty far from any major centres so I make use of Amazon from time to time. Does anyone know of any good Canadian alternatives?

I can't exactly populate the community myself.
